Born in St Ives, Cornwall, of part Welsh, part American ancestry, Lloyd grew up in a very musical family. LLoyd showed his talent as a composer early; he began composing at the age of 9, and began serious study at the age of 14. He was mainly educated at home because of rheumatic fever. He was trained in the dramatic aspects of opera by his father, who would regularly give him scenes from English plays to set to music, and he later studied violin with Albert Sammons and composition with Frank Kitson and Harry Farjeon. He was a student at Trinity College London. His first symphony, written at the age of 19, was premiered in 1932 by the Penzance Orchestral Society and was performed again in 1933 by the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra, with the composer conducting on both occasion. A second symphony had its premiere in 1935 and was soon followed by a third. George Lloyd and his father William, formed The New English Opera Company in 1935, with the intention of establishing a school of English opera. George Lloyd's first opera, Iernin, with a libretto by his father, was performed in 1934 in Penzance, before being transferred to the Lyceum Theatre, London, where it had an unusually long run. His second opera, The Serf, was staged by Vladimir Rosing at Covent Garden in 1938. Lloyd served in World War II with the Royal Marines as a Bandsman on board the cruiser HMS Trinidad on Arctic convoys. He was manning the transmitting station, situated deep in the hull of the ship, in 1942, during an engagement. The Trinidad fired a faulty torpedo which travelled in a circular track and hit the ship, fracturing a large fuel oil tank. Many of Lloyd's shipmates were drowned in the fuel oil, and he was the last man to escape from the compartment. He suffered severe mental and physical trauma from the shell shock, and was hospitalized before being discharged from the Royal Marines. After 4 years he was well enough to start composing again, through the devotion and love of his Swiss wife, Nancy. In 1946 he wrote two symphonies and the opera John Socman, the last commissioned for the 1951 Festival of Britain. In 1952, he took up full-time residence in Dorset. For 20 years, in addition to intermittent composition, he was a market gardener and grew mushrooms and carnations. During this period he continued to write in a tonal, melodic style, contrary to the prevailing climate of modernist and avant garde styles, so he met with difficulties in obtaining performances of his music. In 1972 he sold his market garden business and moved to London to 'pick up the pieces of my musical life' as he put it, and began an extraordinary and productive Indian Summer. He was a very early adopter of digital technology, and established his own recording, production, publishing and distribution company, making 22 CD recordings in all. After his death he was 'Composer of the Week' on Radio 3, and the 2013 BBC Proms program includes performances of his Requiem and his H.M.S.Trinidad March for Orchestra on the Last Night of The Proms.

It is my express wish that any and all remuneration that might be my due be instead forwarded to all the parties involved in the resurrection of this neglected masterwork. Ina Boyle +••.••(...)) Violin Concerto (1933) I. Lento, ma non troppo 0:00 II. Adagio 7:10 III. Allegro, ma non troppo 11:45 Catherine Leonard, violin The Ulster Orchestra Kenneth Montgomery, conductor Ina Boyle was an Irish composer – the most prolific and significant female composer from Ireland before 1950. She was born in Bushey Park near Enniskerry and took violin and cello lessons as a child. She studied counterpoint, harmony and composition with Charles Herbert Kitson and George Hewson in Dublin, and by correspondence with her cousin Charles Wood. She also traveled to London periodically for lessons with Ralph Vaughan Williams. She also studied with Percy Buck. Because of her isolation, Boyle's music was seldom performed. However, she continued to compose until her death. Her composition The Magic Harp received a Carnegie Award, and she won an Olympic Honorable Mention in 1948 for Ireland with Lament for Bion, a composition she submitted to the Olympic Cultural Activities Committee. She died of cancer in Greystones, County Wicklow, and her papers are archived in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin. Trinity College has digitised most of her music manuscripts, and they can be searched and studied online. A feature-length documentary about the life and music of Ina Boyle titled From the Darkness was broadcast 12 June 2010 on Ireland's RTÉ Lyric FM. In April and May 2013, an exhibition at Trinity College highlighted "Ina Boyle’s Symphonic Journey". The Violin Concerto is in 3 movements, played without pause. Although it begins and ends with an A Major chord, there are very free tonal relationships throughout the work. The concerto was dedicated to the memory of the composer's mother, and is based on a Christmas carol composed by the composer for her mother, to words by Pamela Gray of Fallodon. The carol, "All Souls Flower", is alluded to at the very start of the concerto, with the first 5 notes forming the basis of the opening movement. In its original form, it appears in the finale, where it begins in the winds at 12:31. The full text is in the comments.
